Actually, with the latest patch, we don't need these changes in
ExplainPrintPlan.   Earlier, we need these changes because the patch
had changed SS_charge_for_initplans to mark the path with initplan as
parallel safe.  However, after removing that change in the previous
version of patch [1], this is not required as now we won't add gather
on top plan node having initplan.
